For your servlet to act as an SSL client (which is essentially what
you're doing when you open an https URL), you need some extra classes
to handle that. This has been discussed on the list somewhat, you
might check the archives. I believe there were some third party
classes that would do the trick, and there might actually be some from
Sun (and I believe the JWS supported it internally, but that may not
be feasible for you, and I don't know what's the latest on that).
